The New York Yankees are set to welcome back star power hitter Giancarlo Stanton, which could impact the playing time of designated hitter/first baseman Ben Rice. Rice has had a breakout season, posting a .240/.326/.495 batting line with 12 homers in 192 at-bats, showcasing his strong exit velocity. To maximize Rice’s contributions, Yankees manager Aaron Boone should explore options to keep him in the lineup, especially since Stanton is expected to take over as the everyday DH and Paul Goldschmidt will hold down first base.
